Charlies here in Airlie Beach

[Doug Hillary]

Hi,
our Alaskan conributor - Charlie - is here in Airlie Beach with his lovely wife Martha

I met with them today for coffee

They have a fantastic Unimog set up as some of you will already know

Thanks for your fellowship Charlie & Martha - it is a small World really!

I imagine it would feel like a summer vacation going there from Alaska.

Wow that's awesome! Bitogers should meet and enjoy each other's hospitality more often when traveling.

Hi,
Charlie has just been in touch again. They are now staying here for another night so it's a dinner in the Tropics at a nice restaurant for us all tonight

Yes it is good for BITOG people to meet. I last met an American guy and his wife aboard a day trip charter yacht here a year or so ago. We had a great few hours together over wind, waves and a beer or two!

Doug,
I met Gary, and XS650 while in the states.

It's great to put faces and conversations to names and opinions, isn't it ?

Hi,
Shannow - 'tis too! you were fortunate meeting those two guys. Now for a US based BITOG Conference................

I get a few Porsche fellows dropping in - all good stuff!

Make it 2014, and we might be there.
